Unresolved differences may delay announcement of Palestinian unity government

Hamas announced on Sunday that differences with Fatah over the formation of a unity government have still not been resolved.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that his party was not consulted about the intention to announce the unity government on Monday.

#5  More like irreconcilable differences.

Fatah likes rioting light™ with negotiation in an unending circle of riots, negotiation, and attrition.

Hamas likes 100 mm diameter sewer pipe rockets, suicide bombs, and mayhem, in a similar cycle of attrition of Israel.

So the end result is the same: the destruction of Israel. Negotiation involves some degree of trust. There is no trust here, so it is a waste of time.

#1  Perhaps neither side fully understands the meaning of the word "unity". Perhaps ex-prez Bill Clinton should mediate.
